Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living
beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become
extinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus
specimens by two world famous anatomists from England and
the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles
Oxnard, shows that these apes belonged to an ordinary ape
species that became extinct and bore no resemblance to
humans. 13
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
"homo," that is "man." According to their claim, the living beings in
the Homo series are more developed than Australopithecus.
Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging
different fossils of these creatures in a particular order. This
scheme is imaginary because it has never been proved that there
is an evolutionary relation between these different classes. Ernst
Mayr, one of the twentieth century's most important

evolutionists, contends in his book One Long Argument that
"particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life or of
Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a final,
satisfying explanation." 14
By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis >
Homo erectus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these
species is one another's ancestor. However, recent findings of pa-
